Hi All, I have received my passport today and I have noticed I have what look like a left of page at the end of the passport, the while section in the picture attached. Do all the new passport has the same thing? Screenshot_2021-06-09-17-00-03-83.jpg It is not a left off page. It is the extension c...
When we attended the Biometrics appointment and paid extra services to check the documents. The advisor confirmed all our documents were correct and didn’t mention anything about the ILR. We have email evidence which says that no further information is required. UKVCAS staff has absolutely no knowl...
thanks for the reply, I believe when you get the British passport you are allowed to get back your home country passport that you handed to the home office with no harm, is that not right? Yes you can. You need to request the Travel Document Section to return your Home Country’s Passport after you ...
Also add a note that you are returning your Home Office Travel Document (HOTD). HMPO will retain your HOTD and issue you with a British Passport. The HOTD will be sent for safe destruction.
Unfortunately, you are illegal in UK since your visa expired in March 2021 and you overstayed. You can not apply for ILR atm. You need to seek professional legal advice asap to see what options you may have to regularise your stay in UK, otherwise you risk deportation. https://www.citizensadvice.org...
1) Yes. You can save/edit as many times you want. Just keep logging back at least once in 4/6 weeks, if not it might get deleted. 2-3) You get 2 months (45 working days to be exact) after submission to attend biometrics and submit documents after online application. See steps: https://www.immigratio...
You must follow the documents checklist generated for your wife and daughter. You should upload documents in the individual section allocated to your wife and daughter on the UKVCAS portal. Both are separate applicants.
The UKVI requires a fully-certified original translation for each document you provide that is not in English or Welsh. If you are making an application in the UK the translation must: be made by a professional translator or translation company. include details of the translator or translation compa...
Documents will arrive also in another 1-3 weeks.
No need to notify banks. You can possibly change it on the electoral roll if you wish, HMRC, companies house etc.
Its not a mandatory requirement as far I know.
Provide details in the notes at the end of the application or cover letter for the second job.
If I was you, I would just mention an end date to bypass the question and clarify in the notes/cover letter.
The online form does not cater for two existing jobs which is a flaw.
Add your recent job. Also add your company in a separate entry and tick you are the director. Input an ending date as of today for example. Mention the employer’s (company’s) PAYE ref in the form also. Clarify in the notes/cover letter at the end of the form that you are still the director but had t...
No. This documents checking service is a waste. UKVCAS staff just follow the checklist knowing very little/nil about the requirements. As long you upload your documents in any category you are okay. For you peace of mind, just upload the same file again in the “other” folder as advised, UKVCAS staff...
Your referees should both be UK residents. Not necessarily a British Citizen for both though.
If someone who lives in UK is temporarily overseas on vacations etc, that is a different thing.
Thank you, Cullinan. And for the avoidance of doubt, where the referee is overseas ... is it necessary to get a wet ink signature eg I have to post it to him and he has to post it back ? Or can he download it, sign it and scan a copy back to me ? Some members reported getting electronic signatures ...
1) You input referees details in the online form before submission. 2) You download the referee declaration and get it signed (wet signature preferably). The passport photo is yours. 3) Scan and upload with the documents. 4) Keep originals safe till a decision is made. PS: Referees are very rarely c...
1) Apply online when you complete 10 years minus 28 days from the date of first ENTRY in UK. Book biometrics when you complete full 10 years (on the safer side). Date of application is the date you apply online and pay and submit your application. 2) Page 16: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...
Entry/exit dates to/from UK matters only. You can mention the final destination and disclose the other countries (within the same trip of transit) in the reason section.
You can not change the submitted online form. However clarify in the cover letter. The online form counts the days you are absent from UK and mentions on the top of the page itself. This mistake at first will appear as you do not meet the residence requirements. However, CW would make his/her own ch...
